I absolutely loved my stay at the Hotel Yummy! The rooms were comfortable and overlooked Bellecour Square, making it a delightful experience. While there was a slight odd smell and the room wasn't as well appointed as expected, the overall charm and tranquility of the room were quite appealing. The location is superb, with easy access to the main shopping areas and delightful local restaurants like L'Espace Brasserie at 26 Bellecour Square, just a short walk away. The friendly staff made me feel instantly comfortable and welcome. However, it's worth noting that the hotel falls slightly short of a true 5-star experience.

The hotel is perfectly located, just a stone's throw from Bellecour metro station and within easy walking distance of the old town, shops, and restaurants. The rooms offer a quiet retreat despite having a partial view of the plaza. The service is warm and professional, though a clearer bed size description would be appreciated. The dining experience is fantastic, from the atmospheric decor to the food quality. The facilities are top-notch, especially the hot pot dishes. The price is reasonable for the value provided.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, providing a perfect base for our 24-hour exploration of the city. The quiet ambiance, cozy bed, beautiful city view, and fast internet made the stay even more enjoyable. However, the transition to a smaller room was a bit of a downside.

The hotel's central location offers convenience but comes with slightly smaller rooms. The linen quality is excellent, making up for the compact space, with a comfortable bed and nice closet space. The service might lack awareness at times but makes up for it with thorough room inspections and sincere apologies. The location is fantastic, right in the main square, just seconds away from the Bellecour metro station, ideal for exploring the city. The dining option can be pricey, but alternatives are available nearby. Overall, a cozy stay with minor room size concerns but great comfort and service.
